    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yea 24 hours now for me. Have people in my LS that have been out since almost the beginning. What's more frustrating is the lack of communication from SE.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Most of my group is 3102'd too. Thankfully I hit 20 on my conj and arcanist. Was working on Gladiator when I zoned and BAM, out of the game. Thankfully this isn't really release. Hopefully they can figure this shit out. Between the terrible process to create accounts on two sites, to the...

    EQ Never

    So people can call each other faggot pussy casuals? Of course they are going to control it. I agree the questions need to better, but who the hell wants to wade through 600 pages of name calling and superiority complexes to cherry pick good ideas? We are just as responsible for the problems in...

    EQ Never

    At the time, sure I agree. Now? Not really. There's no real risk in places like Seb or HS or Chardok. We know every patrol, every static spawn, every safe point. The only reason we die is because the server lagged, at which point evac is useless anyway. Again, I'm not saying it's for everyone...

    Yep! Add instant group cammo for rangers and druids to that list as well. Many of the changes made with AA were touted as quality of life changes, but for me, they just lessened my ability to prioritize my loadout in a meaningful way. At a certain point on live I had 10 (or more? I forget)...

    Different strokes I suppose. I've never seen a real need for it. Some wizards are considered bad for having it loaded, some aren't. I've done well without it, however I'm certainly not condemning wizards who keep it loaded!

    EQ Never

    Hopefully they can realize their stance that these situations are only a "social restriction"(their words, in the panel) and that the game doesn't require it. And yes, I realize it's only a "social requirement" in things like WoW because the game is designed around it. I completely agree that a...

    EQ Never

    I'm not disagreeing with you, however I'd like to provide an example of something I currently experience with EQ on P99. I play a wizard. I am ultimately bound to the 8 spell gems I have access to. Those 8 gems limit me to 8 spells available to me "right now". My spellbook has over 40 spells in...

    Why does being casual automatically make you a pussy? This is the only recurring theme I've gotten out of the last 80 or so pages...News flash, it's a video game. You sit at a computer and push keys or click mouse buttons. Goddamn, I clicked faster and in better order than you, I'm a superior...

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I'd like to reiterate that I too love(d) boxing. For me, after my stint on Fippy with a full group for almost a year I just got burnt out on it. I have a few buddies on Al'Kabor that swear by it. Perhaps if I get burned out on P99 I may give it another go.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I played on Al'Kabor and found it to be pretty much like live - filled with boxes and 1-man armies. It just wasn't for me. I realize this shit happened in live, and I realize a lot of people enjoy it (hell, I boxed a whole group on Fippy). This time around I just prefer a server where everyone...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    I haven't tanked yet, but having tanked in several other games, and with the small amount of skills I had available as a CNJ, I can totally agree that the GCD is the largest hindrance to the combat system in it's current form (for me, at least). A second GCD for a subset of skills could fix alot...

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Agree 100%. I spent about 12 hours in phase 3, ran all dungeons up thru 20 or so as a healer. It certainly isn't EQ slow (which I'm currently playing on p99 as I type this), but it's way better than WoW, Rift, etc. For my playstyle, it's a step in the right direction.

    I agree. My wife was fucking PISSED. Had a good laugh at it! I enjoyed the movie for what it was. Didn't see it in 3D though, but will get the 3DBR when it's out.

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    I'm in my 30's and have literally done this since about level 4. I have a pretty deep list and at any time of day I can pretty much / all friends and get into a group immediately. Don't suck and people friend you back and send you tells for groups too. It's really not rocket surgery.

    Thanks, I'm guessing I can't register until the open up the weekend test? Code registration for FF14 is closed on the SE account page. Unless there is a beta link somewhere?

    Pretty sure RMT is not allowed on the server and is generally frowned upon. I'm sure some people do it, but I would recommend against it.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I can power anyone to 60 in about 2 hours assuming you have cains and a hellfire. It's a little slower w/o hf. I can also carry MP10 ubers for people who need rings. Feel free to add me: Madruk#1843

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Your HP is kinda low. I recommend crafting VIT shoulders over STR, you want 300+ combined VIT STR (so 200 VIT, 100 STR), and AR (%life is also really nice). Shoulders roll the least damage stats but all the EHP stats, therefore making it one of, if not the best slot to make up those stat...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Considering the bulk of Legendaries come from trash mobs, and they increased the number of trash mobs significantly, this could also account for it to some degree. I certainly notice more after the patch. I get about 3 per run doing the big clear on act 1, MP8.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Who knows now. Pre-patch it cost me about 500m on the barb. CM wiz can literally do it with like 20mil in gear. It ain't fast or pretty, but it works. I wouldn't recommend it. Legit wizard was also around the 500m mark. Monks were closer to 1b. DH don't farm mp10 (or didn't pre-patch) and...

    Apparently they are starting to lift the suspensions. Anyone who was flagged is having all items in their inventory and equipped flagged as account bound. For reference: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/C.../hero/33360727 For those who don't know, when the exploit hit, people were...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They are suspending so many people while they fix it. I have friends who sold maybe 2 billion gold worth of rs emeralds (like 20 gems) that were suspended. Any account flagged to have duped gold is getting locked down while they rollback transactions and scrub all the bad gold out. Since none of...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I disagree (at least for me). The game is better than it's ever been. We all knew this would happen eventually. Blizzard knew it would happen. They had a plan in place to address it, and are doing so. Some people don't agree with it, others do. The AH will come back up and the economy will...

    Pregnancy Thread

    This exactly sums up our last pregnancy. We had the baby in December and the wife just had another check-up and all levels are great. Baby is 100% normal too. It's a huge pain in the ass during to deal with diet, pills and/or needles.

    I know I asked about MTGO, but is there anyone using Cockatrice? I fired it up to test out some GTC cards integrated into my Naya standard deck. It's a little clunky at first but works pretty well for play testing.

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    This is exactly what happened to me with SWTOR. Admittedly I enjoyed Tera and GW2 for my purchase price. The only MMO I consistently go back to is EQ1 - I'm usually on for a few months, off for a few months.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I don't loot anything but legendaries. I have massive pickup radius and I never stop running. So long as you can AOE 1-shot everything, it's pretty easy and mindless. I end up skipping maybe 10% of the mobs in the run, usually the bigger mobs that have the most HP. This is my farming setup - I...
